They performed His miraculous signs among them
This phrase highlights the divine acts executed by Moses and Aaron in Egypt. The Hebrew root for "performed" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, make, or accomplish. This word emphasizes the active role of God's chosen leaders in manifesting His power. The "miraculous signs" refer to the plagues and wonders that God used to demonstrate His sovereignty over the Egyptian gods and Pharaoh. These signs were not mere magic tricks but divine interventions that revealed God's authority and purpose. Historically, these events are pivotal in the narrative of the Exodus, showcasing God's faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The phrase "among them" indicates the public nature of these miracles, witnessed by both the Israelites and Egyptians, serving as a testament to God's power and a call to faith.

and wonders in the land of Ham
The term "wonders" comes from the Hebrew מוֹפֵת (mopheth), which signifies extraordinary events that inspire awe and point to divine intervention. These wonders were designed to challenge the Egyptian worldview and demonstrate the futility of their gods. The "land of Ham" is a poetic reference to Egypt, derived from Ham, one of Noah's sons, whose descendants settled in Africa. This phrase situates the narrative within a broader biblical context, linking the events in Egypt to the genealogical and geographical history outlined in Genesis. The use of "Ham" also serves to remind the reader of the interconnectedness of all nations under God's sovereign plan. This phrase underscores the universal scope of God's actions and His ability to work through history to fulfill His promises.

(27) They shewed.--Literally, They placed, i.e., did.

His signs.--Literally (as in margin), the words of his tokens; but it may also be rendered, "the details of his signs."(Comp. Psalm 65:3 : "matters of iniquity," or, "details of sin.") So here, "details of signs," i.e., signs in detail or sequence, sign after sign.

Verse 27. - They showed his signs among them; literally, the matters of his signs; i.e. his long series of signs. Aaron showed the earlier signs generally (Exodus 7:10, 19, 20; Exodus 8:6, 17), Moses the later ones (Exodus 9:10, 23; Exodus 10:13, 22). And wonders in the land of Ham (comp. ver. 23 and Psalm 106:22).
